Organic Salmon

Our organic salmon comes from one of the world's most exposed fish farms, in cross-currents near Clare Island on the west coast of Ireland. This place is swept by strong tidal currents and high waves, and the water quality is rated 1A - the best there is.

These exceptional water conditions are pivotal to the success of our organic salmon: The strong currents make the muscle texture firm, the fat content is very low. At the end of their lives, the salmon will have swum the equivalent of 14,500 miles which is about the same distance that wild salmon would cover. A build-up of parasites and pollutants is impossible. The number of animals per net are greatly reduced. So the conditions under which the salmon is farmed are very close to its wild counterparts.

The salmon is handfed daily with organic feed based on natural ingredients from sustainable sources, and free from genetically modified organisms. The fishmeal in the organic feed is only derived from the by-products of fish which is processed for human consumption, meaning that the fishmeal is the product of a sustainable source.

Organic farmed salmon are reared in large cages which allow them to follow their natural shoaling behaviour, and within that control their proximity to other salmon, in line with organic farming concepts. On average, it takes 3 years to rear the salmon before it reaches you.

Our organic salmon is fully traceable and certified by different organisations like The Irish Organic Farmers and Growers Association, Naturland (Germany), Qualité France, and Bio Suisse (Switzerland). 

For us - and most of our discerning customers - these are the most important reasons for buying organic salmon: Respect for animal welfare, good for wildlife and the environment, trusted sources and high standards, healthy and great-tasting food with no additives, no pesticides and no GMO.
